@tlight26berry Adolph Rupp frome kentucky played at Kansas!!1 Dean Smith from North Carolina, Played at Kansas!! Kansas is tops of all Programs, without KAnsas, there is no North Carolina or kentucky!!!!

[tlight26berry]

You could make a good argument for Kentucky and UNC to be the top programs of all time, i believe they are 1 and 2 respectively...then I believe Indiana/Kansas are interchangeable, then Duke. UCLA had one long amazing streak...but fail to be there every year. Everyone knows that the blue bloods of the sport are UK, KU, UNC, UCLA, IU, and Duke.

@LectricSheepz Refs can't decide the game. So there was a travel at the end of the game...leading to the three that was sent in to beat us (KU). But when you act like it was a MISSED call that cost us the game...it sounds pathetic. Duke beat us. Man, if only we had the Plumlee that was posting up Robinson with ease...TO COMPLIMENT ROBINSON (meaning that plumlee playing at KU), that would be fantastic. OH, btw...anyone saying Kansas is not an elite top 5 program of all time is a DISASTROUS fool.

@EnigmoEnigmo And Allen Fieldhouse is the loudest arena in the nation; there is no home court with "much" more impact. Cameron is great, I agree, but Kansas has the magical combination of awesome fanbase, student section, history, recent success, big names, volume, etc.... Cameron has crazy students, but they are lacking the long tradition that elevates Allen to #1. Oh, and Duke sucks a dick. We thoroughly outplayed them in Maui and got totally screwed by typical Duke bought officials.

@EnigmoEnigmo I know you are talking about history. That's why it was ridiculous for you to say, "If they were the best they wouldnt be ranked 15, or w/e their ranked, they'd be #1." You were obviously inferring that Kansas has a "B" program because we are currently ranked 15. I will agree that Kentucky has the #1 program in history. No denying that. But to say Kansas' program is not elite just shows you know absolutely nothing about college basketball. UCLA? Please.....

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@LectricSheepz ummmm no? I'm talking about the history. But technically, Kansas has lost to duke AND Kentucky (A teams) so I would say yes. Besides ranking means nothing, just like how ucf beat UConn. Any team can beat any team. Rankings are just bragging rights. Compare the history of teams like kentucky, UNC, ucla, etc. To Kansas. No comparison. and I can confidently say that duke, while is smaller, has much more of an impact. And as much as I hate duke, I have to say it.

[LectricSheepz]

@EnigmoEnigmo Sooooo let me get this straight: We are ranked 15 right now, and thus we have a B program? What the hell are you smoking in Roy Boy country? And I have also been to both Cameron and Allen (along with Rupp and the Smith Center) and can confidently say that the Phog is clearly the best. Cameron is close, to be sure, but a gym that small just can't quite muster the same thunder, regardless of fan passion. Cameron also looks better on TV due to seating arrangement.

@EnigmoEnigmo yea and teague needs to make better decisions too, but i think either unc, uk or ohio state will win it all, no one comes close to those 3

[EnigmoEnigmo]

@The23Jman agreed, i think kentucky is just all around good. especially with Davis. if Teague slows down a bit he'll make it even better

[The23Jman]

@EnigmoEnigmo and if unc shoots like tht every game, they will be a scary ass team to play
